It can be said that the establishment of the Boy Scout Movement in Xagħra in 1933 was the prelude to an activity in a number of cultural fields.

The famous Xagħra square also served as the first stadium which housed the training sessions of the village's football team.

After the black clouds of the war passed, the football teams in Gozo became active again and the championships with the first competition being for the “Galea’s Cup”.

The central committee of the football team continued with its hard work for the benefit of this popular sport in Xagħra.

Another match in which the Xagħra Young Stars honored themselves as well as their village was the one played with the Floriana Football Club on Sunday, December 30, 1962.

Another success of the Young Stars team towards the end of their work was with winning the "British-American Shield" in the 1968–1969 season.

Under the leadership of the late Mr. Horace Mercieca this was to be the foundation of a team that brought glory back to the village.

Victoria Hotspurs were the biggest rivals this season due to the fact that out of four in five competitions they were the finalists for winning the titles.

It was only in the Gemeharija Cup when Xagħra United defeated a different opponent, this time, the Xewkija Tigers in the final.

The success of this season was marked by big celebrations after twenty-five years of waiting for the championship to be won.

The following season, 1998/1999, brought the success of the GFA Cup again, but since then it has been a difficult time for the Xagħra United team.

After full work between the committee, coaches and players, during the 2014/2015 season, Xagħra United returned to the First Division.

During the 2019/2020 season, the team managed a six-placed final position after the League was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
